New Galaxy Milk Chocolate and Galaxy Orange digestive biscuits

New Galaxy Milk Chocolate and Galaxy Orange digestive biscuits

Mars Chocolate Drinks and Treats (MCD&T) has today announced the launch of Galaxy Milk Chocolate and Galaxy Orange Digestive Biscuits.

The new biscuits combine the everyday familiarity of a digestive biscuit, with an unmistakable half coating of silky-smooth Galaxy milk chocolate, making the everyday chocolate digestive a bit more special.


“One in three households consume chocolate digestive biscuits," said Michelle Frost, general manager for Mars Chocolate Drinks and Treats. "However, branded choice is extremely limited. There has been very little challenge to the market leader in recent years, even though research would suggest that there is space for market challenger brand to occupy. Particularly one that reaches different occasions and appeals to a wider spectrum of shopper demographics.

“The Galaxy brand is synonymous with great tasting chocolate; consumers know the familiarity and quality to expect. Our research shows that 42 per cent of regular chocolate digestive purchasers would prefer Galaxy chocolate on top of their digestive biscuit**, versus their current choice of chocolate digestive.

Galaxy Orange Digestive 300g BB

“This number rises to 55 per cent in 18-25 year olds, suggesting there is a fantastic opportunity for retailers to increase penetration with our Galaxy Milk Chocolate and Galaxy Milk Chocolate Orange Digestive Biscuits.”

Galaxy Milk Chocolate Digestive Biscuits and Galaxy Orange Digestive Biscuits will be available exclusively at Asda from December 29 2022 for three months. RRP £1.89 (300g pack).

From March both will be available across multiple grocery stores, and available to purchase through wholesale and convenience channels.

Swizzels limited-edition Valentine’s Day treat

Sweet maker Swizzels has unveiled a brand-new limited-edition product in time for Valentine’s Day, combining two of its most-loved brands into one treat: Squashies Love Hearts.

Offering a fresh twist on two popular classics, the new Squashies Love Hearts combine Squashies’ signature soft texture with the iconic and timeless messages of Love Hearts.

Squashies remain the No. 1 sugar confectionery brand in the market, while Love Hearts see consistent growth, with 950,000 units sold during the Valentine’s period and a 10 per cent year-on-year growth in brand value. Building on this success, Swizzels has combined the two household names to create a fast-moving and profitable addition to any retailer’s offering.

Available in 120g bags and sold in cases of 12, each foam sweet is embossed with a fun message or emoji, making them ideal for sharing with a loved one. Messages include "KISS", "WOW", "FAB", and "LOVE", alongside two cheerful and romantic emojis, adding a playful touch.

With an MRSP of £1.15, the new product retains the classic colours and flavours of traditional Love Hearts, including Pineapple, Lime, Blackcurrant, Lemon, Cherry, and Orange.

Swizzels’ Love Hearts range remains a Valentine’s Day favourite, led by the popular 39g Giant Love Hearts rolls, which outsell any other Valentine’s SKU with 621,000 units sold during the season.



Other fan-favourites from the range include Love Hearts Originals Hanging Bags, the 15g mini Love Hearts rolls and Giant Love Hearts multipacks.

“We’re excited to introduce a delicious and innovative new product that combines two of our most popular brands, delivering the same moreish flavours and signature texture - with an added twist," said trade marketing manager Clare Newton.
